DNA is transcribed into RNA which is translated into proteins. Only a small percentage of DNA and RNA become proteins. Some of the time the process stops after DNA is transcribed into RNA.

What is the importance of RNA Polymerase?
RNA Polymerase is an enzyme that specializes in the creation of RNA. RNA is used by the body to construct the full strains of DNA and without RNA, the DNA could not be formed.
Is a adenine an enzyme?
No, it is a nucleotide base used to construct DNA and RNA
DNA and RNA are both types?
They are types of nucleic acids. DNA is found in the nucleus and RNA is found in the nucleolus (in the nucleus) and in the ribosomes. DNA codes for RNA, which codes for proteins which ultimately make up our body.
What is a messenger DNA?
You're thinking of messenger RNA. It is the transcribed complement of DNA that ultimately gets translated by rRNA and tRNA into a protein.
What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
What does DNA do?
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that carries the genetic information needed to construct cells. It is also capable of self-replication and synthesizing ribonucleic acid (RNA).
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
A major difference in RNA as compared to DNA is?
RNA can move and DNA cant. DNA has a double helix strand and RNA is a single strand.
Which enzyme synthesizes a short RNA primer at the beginning of each origin of replication?
DNA polymerase III can add nucleotides only to a chain of nucleotides that is alreadypaired with the parent strands. Hence, DNA polymerasecannot link the first nucleotides in a newly synthesizedstrand. Instead, another enzyme, an RNA polymerasecalled primase, constructs an RNA primer, a sequence ofabout 10 RNA nucleotides complementary to the parentDNA template. DNA polymerase III recognizes the primerand adds DNA nucleotides to it to construct the new DNAstrands. The RNA nucleotides in the primers are then replacedby DNA nucleotides.
What is the substance in RNA but not DNA?
An uracil base is in RNA but not in DNA
Are DNA and RNA carbohydrates?
Yes, DNA and RNA have different sugar . DNA contains deoxyribose sugar whereas RNA consists of ribose sugar, which are completely different from each other.
